Update on Tirzepatide

Update on Tirzepatide for weight management On 23rd June 2025, it was announced that people living with obesity will be able to begin accessing tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for weight loss purposes in primary care settings. However, the national roll out does not mean all people will be able to get a prescription for Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) on this day.

Triage starting 24 June 2025

REMINDER The way you book GP appointments is changing. You will need to complete an online Triage form via our website. Those patients who do not have internet access can telephone and a receptionist will help to complete the form and it will be submitted to the Triage GP to review.

Yellow Heat Alert

We want to inform you that a Yellow Heat-Health Alert has been issued for our region, effective from 12/06/2025 at 9:00pm to 15/06/2025 at 8:00am. This alert covers the East of England region and is expected to have minor impacts across the health and social care sector. While many welcome warmer weather, it's important to remain alert to the health risks high temperatures can pose—particularly for vulnerable patients, colleagues and members of the community.

Blood Pressure

For those already diagnosed with high blood pressure, consistent monitoring is key to effective management. That's why I'm excited to tell you about BP@Home, a programme that enables you to monitor your blood pressure in the comfort of your own home.

TRIAGE - starting 24 June 25

The way you book GP appointments is changing. We are moving to triaging requests for appointments. These changes are in line with NHS recommendations to provide a modern GP practice model with use of digital technology tools to provide fair access to medical care. This means that the new system will ensure that the patients most in need of urgent appointments will be given them. You will need to complete an online Triage form via our website. Those patients who do not have internet access can telephone and a reception will help to complete the form and it will be submitted to the Triage GP to review.
